As a Ukrainian I need to add that Verka isn’t just a goofy one-time act, it’s a wholesome persona created by madly talented Andriy Danilko who used to be a stand-up comedian, but one day transformed into a singing lady. Also, he created various coolest songs before and after Eurovision, which are widely known and listened to till this day. If there’s an announcement of her performance, the tickets will be sold out in minutes. Verka is Ukrainian Lady Gaga
I would add that Andrii actually used to write beautiful instrumental music by his own name in the past. The piano is gorgeous in that album. Hello from Ukraine 🤚
Lady Gaga is Ukrainian Verka😂 Our national treasure 🇺🇦
But one day you should really listen his melancholic songs. When he is not dressed up, playing the piano. It will touch your soul and you will feel the difference. That was entertainment. But he can make you cry as well
your comedians are something else man :D
The whole world loves Verka! Greatest entertainer of all time ❤
This is Eurovision Royalty. We love Verka and all her Eurovision appearances.
Ukraine in eurovision deserves its own week!
Yes! Forget Sweden - Ukraine is the true #1 Eurovision country.
@@diegelassenheit the only one that always qualifies! 🇺🇦
We all knew that "Lasha Tumbai" sounds like "Russia goodbye" ....and that was the intention of this song ^^
Nobody know that, except extra-obedient russians)) in the middle of the song Verka skrims “Маладцы” (good boys) in russian. So? Why nobody notised it?
@@user-redin67dU forgot that russian language ≠ language of russians. Just make this analysis and think about it. And Verka confirmed that she just couldn't say "russia goodbye" straight
@@osinnya he only changed the lyric after the invasion. It was never intended to mean "russia goodbye", and it was never changed due to any eurovision rules. In fact, he even had all sorts of differrent explanations for what the phrase meant back in the day, non of which being what you claim.
As for russian language not being the language of russians.... perhaps. Yet I assure you, a lot of radical Ukranian folk are gonna strongly disagree with you on that one. The sole inclusion of russian language in this song points out that it was probably not meant to be an anti Russian statement, at least back when it was written.
@@osinnya I am Ukrainian) and U are explain to me our language situation? About Verka, I watched on tv from my childhood? And I watched all his interview in origins. without “lost on translations”, which non russian-ukrainian speaker can make? Just make this analysis and think about that.
of course, the meaning is russia goodbye 🙃 f...off russia, just f..off
Fun fact: This is Kaarija's favorite Eurovision performance!
It’s classic, but I have to say I think Käärijä is even better!
@@phuealhahahahaha never in life!!!!!
ª
Yep, ESC2007 was held in Helsinki, Lordi won the only time Finland got the trophy in 2006. Käärijä said he did watch the ESC at home with his family when he was a kid & fell in love with Dancing Lasha Tumbai. 💙💙💛💛
@@phueal yes yes 😉
I'd say that Moldova would probably deserve the title of funniest contry at Eurovision. They already hit that spot flawlessly with their debut in 2005 and they've kinda specialised in this "subgenre" along the years. And the funniest thing of it all is that their "fun" entries have also been among their most succesful participations (so it's not only how frequently they do it but how actually good they are at it): 2005 (6th place), 2010 (Epic Sax Guy, undeserved 22nd), 2011 (12th), 2017 (again Epic Sax Guy and Moldova's highest place at Eurovision - 3rd), 2018 (10th) or 2022 (7th).
Absolutely agree about Moldova! They are genuinely one of my most favourite countries in Eurovision ever!
Guitar is definitely more popular in Ukraine than accordion, but accordion is funnier. Like everyone has this memory from childhood when at family dinner your drunk uncle gets accordion and plays hard folklore and everyone is dancing like in Verka's show
hahahaaha...yesssss!
Moldova would be the funniest country in Eurovision surely
Yes I was thinking Moldova!!
I only see the final and it is a treat to see Moldova every time
Yes of course Memedova
This is the only possible answer to that question.
I was thinking Moldova too. This is my all-time favourite from them, like a retro postcard come to life - th-cam.com/video/ODzyLwIx50s/w-d-xo.html
Eurovision is such a wild mix of the serious and the goofy. It's like a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises every year. That's the beauty of it - you never know if a country will send a heartfelt ballad or a dancing astronaut. 😂 It's all about the mood and the message they want to convey. And honestly, that's why we love it. Eurovision is a celebration of diversity in music and culture. 🎶🌍
I was about to explain the same but you did it perfectly ❤
Great explanation! Also it should be mentioned that sometimes winning is not the goal, cause if you win you host next year and that is expensive as heck😂
THIS!
The astronaut one is one of the best, love that one.
Most countries have at least once sent a funny/joke entry, but I think Moldova 🇲🇩 is good answer to your question! They often become the meme of the year 😂
Verka Serduchka is a European legend✌️❤️
This has legendary status in the Eurovision fandom, you either love it or hate it. I was travelling through Europe last year and saw a poster for their concert in Kraków, would loved to have seen it.
You should totally visit Verka’s concert. Live energy is unforgettable ❤
Verka made Eurovision history
Verka is one of the Queens of Eurovision! And remember, she was the runner up in that year!
Verka is a eurovision legend! So good!❤
Classic Eurovision!
Ukraine is a power house, they come and change all the game.
Sweden never sends goofy acts to Eurovision. They're dead serious about it.
1966 & 1986 says hi.
But when they host, they go hard with the comedy
This is true. We’ll have some quirky stuff in Melodifestivalen, but they generally don’t make it that far. I think it’s due to humour being a hard thing to sell to such a diverse audience.
Us Italians too lol. The balcans + East Europe is where's at when it comes to funny acts
And I'm bitter about it. Our humour is so weird, I would love to see it in eurovision. Bonus if it was in Swedish, the last Swedish sang was from Finland.
This was such a huge thing. I remember dancing to this in a nighclub at 3.00 am in Finland in 2007.
Andriy Danylko has started his career as stand-up comedian in a role Verka Serduchka :) it was very successful and then she started to sing. Glad you enjoyed it!
About the outfits... they were actually designed by Dolce & Gabbana so yes...not cheap at all haha
wait, really? I thought that was an urban myth!
@@nikolaos9652no, its a myth as it is
@@nikolaos9652Verka has a song Dolce and Gabbana, and the brand loves her)
No,they just bought some silver fabric,but it wasn't enough for the whole lot of them. So, decided to add some gold.
Dolce and Gabbana just praised Ukrainian contestants in Twitter,I think,for being stylish and creative in combining silver and gold for the costumes.
69 is a provocation. 18 is the number of their performance.
russia heard "russia goodbye" and was very offended.
Haha, I am dying imagining kids all over Europe jamming in their garages on accordions.
Verka stage name of Andrii Danylko who made enormous career with this Verka character as stand up comedian and then in music. It's safe to say that Verka songs are present at almost eery wedding, when people reach particular level of intoxication😂
It is also always warmed my heart and amazed how Verka and this song became Eurovision "royalty" and all Eurovision fans love her😂
ICONIIIIIIIIIIIC
Verkaaaaaaaa
you dont understand, you just cant. Whenever she makes an apparition audiences go crazy. haahahahahah. it's one of those acts...if you say "eurovision ukraine 2007" everyone knows. we all know XDD
Verka is actually a comedian Andrei Danilko. He’s talented comedian/songwriter. A legend here in Ukraine
Verka is Eurovision royalty! I am very excited for esc week 3❤🎉
Eurovision can't be overtly political (it's in the rules), so here he sings "I want you see Lasha Tumbai" and that is non-sensical words that are supposed to be read "I wan't you see Russia goodbye". This message has not aged at all. And also the outfits are D&G so not your average designer.
A lot of countries alternate between sillier entries and more serious songs, and both can do pretty well in Eurovision. The winning entry from 2007 is a pretty dramatic, Serbian language ballad with very impressive vocals. Eurovision can tilt in any direction any given year, which is part of what makes it so fun: one year it's a dramatic ballad, next year a high energy dance number, then some screaming rock music. But the thing all winners have in common is that they are usually extremely compelling and successful at doing what they aim for.
Comedy part spot on, Verka started her career as a standup commedian. As a persona named Verka 30 simething year old that worked as a train conductor, non married but is after marriage (hence was created second persona her mother that came intoo picture when Verka become more famous)
Yaaaaiiii Verka Serduchka the Mother Queen of Eurovision ❤❤Dancing Lasha Tumbai may be a runner up but it is the most iconic song it represents what Eurovision truly is❤❤funny country all of them can be funny but I could choose Moldova and Ukraine❤❤Ukraine is one of the most favorite among the Eurovision fans because of their creativity they served different genre different concept Verka and Go-A are the most iconic among the contestants who represented Ukraine❤❤please react to Lordi Hardrock Hallelujah the winner of Eurovision 2006❤❤
Maybe not as comedic as it first appears.
The words ':Lasha Tumbai' mean nothing but phonetically resemble 'Russia Goodbye' - the original lyric, which had to be changed because Eurovision is non-political.
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Verka has reverted to the original lyric, including on his/her appearance at the 2023 Grand Final.
Funniest to me is Moldova, they have been good at humor and creativity, it's one of the countries I'm always curious to see what they might do next.
Please do the 2021 Eurovision - the strongest of the recent years
5. Ukraine - Go_A: "Shum"
4 Iceland - Daði Freyr & Gagnamagnið: "10 Years"
3 Switzerland - Gjon's Tears: "Tout l'univers"
2 France - Barbara Pravi: "Voilà"
1 Italy - Måneskin: "Zitti e buoni"
I second this list.
I third this list
Add the 6th: Finland - Blind Channel - Dark Side.
Oooooooh! This is such a Eurovison classic :D
Вєрка - зірка ⭐️ we love Verka
i saw her on tv a lot as a kid and she had many shows where i lived.
i thought wow i love an old lady who still runs around performing in eccentric outfits and does a comedy act. imagine my surprise when i found out its a guy thats like 20 years younger than i thought she was (this was before i knew about drag lol)
This is the most popular song of Eurovision,Verka is a role he is a theatrical performer and very very famous comedian and singer, great artist for me at the top 5 ever songs at the history of Eurovision!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🔥🔥🔥
I love a lot of the Eastern European states, who combine high energy 'pop' numbers with their traditional music styles in a way that is totally Eurovision!
This is the best ever Eurovision performance
IT IS ICONIC !!!! THAT WHAT IT IS !!! THAT SONG-PERFORMANCE CREATED HISTORY IN EUROVISION. IT IS HAPPY, SIMPLE, WITHOUT FAKE-SERIOUSNESS AND MAKE YOU DANCE !!! IT IS NOT A TROLL . IT IS AN ICON !! CO-EXISTANCE OF BALLADS AND HAPPY CREATIVE SONGS!!! LOVE EUROVISION!!!!!!!!!!!
Verka - The ROYALTY of Eurovision. :D
It wasnt goofy from the beginning. Since Eurovision started in 1956 it was more serious and classy. All of that happened over time. No even in the 70s and 80s and even 90s you wont find as much goofy performances like in the famous 00s :) the 00s are full of it. But these days we have less of it but here and there we still get very fun performances.
I personally miss more of the lighhearted stuff. Thats why I loved Moldova 2022. That was a true party.
And the Accordion thing... the Ex-Yugoslav States also have a lot of accordion in our music. Mostly it tends to be more folk music, traditional stuff. In modern pop you wont find it as much. But without accordion no party ;)
BRANDY WEEK!!!!!!! BRANDY WEEK!!!!!!!!!!! BRANDY WEEK, GOSH DARN IT!!!!!!;
5-HAVE YOU EVER
4-BABY
3-PUT IT DOWN
2-FULL MOON
1-THE BOY IS MINE
Finland is generally good for a crazy eurovision entry.
Yes, the worst songs.
Funniest Eurovision country is Moldova. 2010 is iconic, and has the global phenomenon that was Epic Sax Man. 2005, 2011, 2017 and especially 2022 are all excellent nonsense.
Moldova is too poor to host the Eurovision that's why they send "winners".
GAHH!!! Thanks so much for doing my top 5 Eurovision throwback! Hope you all enjoy the Eurovision entries!!
Which songs were in your recommendations? 😊 I'm curious!
which songs did you pick??
I never thought the name they were trying to say was Kyriakos! 😂
Αν κρίνω από το νούμερο 5 έχεις και γ*μω τα γούστα! Να 'σαι καλά για την πρόταση!
@@zsokapados5197
1. Euphoria
2. What’s Another Year
3. Waterloo
4. Volare
5. Dancing Lasha Tumbai
Still the best eurovision performance of all time
i think this song describes the Eurovision Song Contest very well, and i love it
Imo the 2 countries that do silly stuff very well consistently are ukraine and moldova with the latter being the funniest country in eurovision. Moldova has: silly hats(2011), a grandma on a drum(2005), a fun funky dance(2009), epic sax guy(2017/10) and a train(2022). They can make almost anything entartaining.
And for the most serius countries id have to say Sweeden and Switzerland. With sweeden sending very well produced mainstreem pop and the swiss bringing a lot of balads.
The song is so funny and at the same time absolutely catchy with the fast beat and the folk melody on the accordion, which is indeed typical for Eastern European music (not only the instrument, but the melody, too).
For German listeners it is particularly funny that in the verse she sings a kind of children's counting rhyme in German: "Sieben, sieben, alle lügen, sieben sieben, eins, zwei. Sieben, sieben, alle lügen, eins, zwei, drei" (2 times) and then: "Tanzen!"
"Seven, seven, everyone is lying, seven seven, one, two. Seven, seven, everyone is lying, one, two, three" (2 times) and then: "Dance!"
Verka studied German at school...
Who the hell is Edgar was a good mix of wacky and a catchy pop song this year 😂
One of my favorites of 2023!
Hard Rock Hallelujah (2006) is definately needed on the list as that brought hard rock into Eurovision.
Verka, she is the best forever🤩🤩🤩
I would say one of the least "silly/goofy" countries at Eurovision is Italy. They have a song contest called Sanremo that predates Eurovision and there's always an air of "sophisticated quality" that tends to be rewarded over pure camp/humour.
true the most ‘silly’ thing i remember them doing was in 2017 and that wasn’t even really silly bc the song had a deeper message but the dance and man in a monkey suit part was pretty silly for their standards lol
Yes, and Sweden too
In Eurovision I've voted only twice. Verka and Subwoolfer.
It’s our super star ⭐️
I had the enormous honor of seeing this live in Helsinki (during the final rehearsals and not the actual show, but still)! 🤩
The song/show was FANTASTIC and Verka was robbed of the win that year!!! 😍🪩
serdychka is f legend!
It was invented in Germany by Friedrich Buschmann in 1822. Since then, the instrument has made a significant impact on the world of modern and classical music. The accordion is similar to a portable piano. It is a wind instrument, comprising two reed organs that are connected by folding bellows
I have been waiting for another Eurovision week!
Thanks for more Eurovision! There’s so much more goodness to come, both novelty and actually pretty amazing songs. Iceland 2020 (show didn’t happen for obvious reasons) and 2021 (same group) were really amazing songs. Hope you continue to love it 👍
I know it's childish, but the 69 gets me every time 🤣
This performance was epic. What I’ve read was it not only really well thought out, it was also very political. Verka is basically playing with words and telling Russia to get the hell out of Ukraine. I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian so can’t confirm that. But it sounds reasonable 😁
He was singing: Lasha Tumbai, like nonsense words. The full song has no meaning at all in any language. Russian propaganda on the TV made it "Russia Goodbye" and was mocking Verka 24/7. He was stripped from the shows in Russia (he was HUGE there).
Andriy Danilko (Verka Serduchka) officially changed the words to "Russia Goodbye" after the full scale war in 2022
I saw this live here in Helsinki, it was so cool 🆒😎
Thank u for reaction!!!! ♥️🇺🇦♥️
Still one of my favorite Eurovision songs ❤💃🏻
QUEEN VERKA YAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Best song ever!
I want to see - Russia goodbye - DANCING!
As a Ukrainian I need to add that Verka isn’t just a goofy one-time act, it’s a whole persona created by madly talented Andriy Danilko who used to be a stand up comedian, but one day transformed into a singing lady. Also he created a variety of coolest songs before and after Eurovision, which are widely known and listened to till this day. If there’s an announcement of her performing, the tickets would be sold out in minutes. Verka is Ukrainian Lady Gaga
I have a Eurovision List for you... VOCAL POWERHOUSES:
#1 Sweden 2014: Sanna Nielsen - Undo
#2 Iceland 2009: Yohanna - Is it True?
#3 Spain 2012: Pastora Soler - Quédate Conmigo
#4 United Kingdom 2017: Lucie Jones - Never Give Up On You
#5 Italy 2015: Il Volo - Grande Amore
Please please please, these vocal performances are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. !!!
Verka is a legend ❤ This is an iconic performance!
a classic and an alltime favorite of Eurovision. made history! and soooo much fun
Eurovision was in the beginning a competition about your countys music culture and you sang in your own language. Easter Europe came along sometimes in the 90's. Today it is a show where you have to do the best and most of your 3 minutes to impress the public. If you are looking for the country that takes this more seriously than any other, it is Sweden.
Love Verka ❤❤❤
Eurovision used to be a more or less serious contest with a limited number of participants. Now this is a show with a huge number of participants. Obviously, in order to maintain the interest of the audience and be remembered, the performances must be different. That's why there are more freaks at Eurovision, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
🎉🎉🎉🎉Eurovision, Yeah!!!
Thank you for checking Eurovision songs
The point is the chorus sounds like " Russia Goodbye" 😂
Ughhh such an icon 😂😂😂😂 I love this performance
I'm Proud about... becouse these partys was in Finland 2007. I hope you did watch Lordi
Verka and this performance is featured in the comedy movie, Spy with Melissa McCarthy
Legend!
Please ❤ Janet Jackson week 2:
1- Rhythm Nation
2- Love Will Never Do (Without You)
3- Doesn’t Really Matter
4- Pleasure Principle
5- Together Again (Deeper Remix)
You get that Lasha Tumbai sounds like Russia Goodbye.... He sings I'd like to see Lasha Mumbai...
Скоро НОВЫЙ ГОД 🎄
Верка Сердючка на новогодних концертах главное украшение любого праздника 💯👍
I was sooo waiting for the Eurovision Week 3! Thanks guys!
Ahhhhhhh eurovision again!!! ❤
Yes!!!!
super happy you’re doing this 😊 now we just need top 5 eurovision finalists from 2021
haha i love your reactions! been watching all your videos now :D
I subscribed because of eurovision only
None of the commenters are pointing out the biggest thing - "Lasha Tambai" is sung as "Russia Goodbye"
It seems you didn’t read all the comments.
Malta and Cyprus take it very seriously I don't think they ever sent a 'troll' entry
Was waiting for Eurovision 2021...
"Lasha Tumbai" sounds like "Russia goodbye"
Many countries take it seriously and have never sent a joke entry but once in a while it’s lovely to have them in to mix it up ( as long as they don’t win cos the year after there will be 10 songs like it and it feeds the “ Eurovision is joke “ stigma . Hence why they brought back judges . Cos people tend to vote for them A LOT but when joke entries win then serious / big singers don’t go cos it will hurt their career . So there has to be a fine balance between joke and serious for the survival of Eurovision .
I can’t wait to see what are the other songs of this week.
Lasha Tumbai, yeah!
The funniest? I would probably choose Lithuania.. but its hard
Still ..
We-are-the-winners Of-Eurovision 😂
Is one of my favourites songs 🥰
Moldova: Hold my sax!
Sweden never send goofy/silly stuff. They always play it safe with a jury friendly pop song.
